Alright, I admit it, this may be a very dumb question, but here goes....
I received my silvercats today to connect between my CD player, preamp, and amp (2-channel system). (2-0.5 M pairs)
The RCA connections on my Arcam pre-amp and CD player are fairly close, and when the locking RCA's are in place the barrels touch, in fact the barrels will rub against each other during the tightening of the locking barrels. The "gold" colored cable side ends have the clear insulation around them, but not the barrels.
Question - will this cause a short, or are the outside barrels non-conductive (insulators)?
I removed the silvercats and replaced with my old cables before I did something I would possibly regret (short out my system).
Thanks for the responses.
